10 The constellation of space-borne passive microwave (MW) sensors, coordinated under 11 the framework of the Precipitation Measurement Missions international agreement, 12 continuously produces observations of clouds and precipitation all over the globe. The Goddard 13 Profiling Algorithm (GPROF) is designed to infer the instantaneous surface precipitation rate 14 from the measured MW radiance...

Following the success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), considerable effort has been directed at the next generation of space-based precipitation radar (PR) to be launched aboard the Global Precipitation Measuring (GPM) core satellite. The GPM mission concept is centered on the deployment of a core observatory satellite with an active dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR), o...

Global precipitation measurement is essential not only for the research of the global change but also for the water resources management. Currently, satellite precipitation measurement is not sufficient for the detailed study of the precipitation and is far from enough for the water resources management which requires very high spatial and temporal resolution. To fill the gap at least partly, t...

Satellite technologies provide valuable areal precipitation datasets in alpine mountains. However, coarse resolution still limits the use of satellite hydrological and meteorological research. We evaluated different time scales magnitudes Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission 3B43 V7 (TRMM) Global Precipitation (GPM) products for regions using ground from January 2015 to June 2019 obtained 25 n...

Numerous studies conducted as part of the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) program have demonstrated the benefits of space-borne precipitation measurements. The NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) is an outgrowth of TRMM that will provide improved precipitation measurements and extend those measurements to higher latitudes. GPM satellite will carry a microwave imager coupled wit...

Following on the successful introduction of single-frequency (Ku-Band) weather radar onboard the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite in 1997, the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission attempts to advance further the goal of making global scale precipitation observations by deploying the next generation of satellite-borne weather radars. The GPM satellite will carry a Ka-Ku...

The Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) will employ a constellation of ~8 satellites to measure precipitation between +/-65o latitude[1]. The GPM constellation will fly microwave radiometers accompanied by a core “reference” satellite carrying a Ka-Ku band dual-frequency radar (DPR) and an improved passive microwave radiometer (GMI; frequencies 10-183 GHz). Fundamentally, the improved GPM remote...

The Goddard Convective-Stratiform Heating (CSH) algorithm has been used to retrieve latent heating (LH) associated with clouds and cloud systems in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. CSH requires use a cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulate LH profiles build look-up tables. This paper describes current V6 its differences/simil...

Abstract Application potential and development prospect of satellite precipitation products such as Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Global Precipitation (GPM) have promising implications. This study discusses causes spatiotemporal differences on GPM data through the following steps: Initially, calculate bias between satellite-based rain gauge Xiangjiang river catchment to assess accu...
